WWE's main event card appears to be crashing down faster than anyone could have expected. The gradual retirement of the older guys - Flair, HBK, Batista, JBL, Finlay - over the last couple of years for whatever reason/level of success as been a natural turnover, but this has suddenly accelerated to the point where new long-term main eventers need to be brougt through in the next few months.
- Edge has retired
- HHH has confirmed that he no longer sees himself as full-time talent, just as a go-to guy in emergencies
- Taker's comeback only saw him in one fight, not even tune-ups or promotional brawls
- Michelle has also confirmed her retirement from the ring due to injury, reducing the incentive for Taker to return to the active roster
whilst the list who have mentioned, dropped hints at or stated they intend to retire in the next year or two includes Rey, Big Show, Regal, Golddust and Henry. Punk is rumoured to be prepared to walk when his contract ends this summer as well, which leaves
Current or former champs
- Cena
- Orton
- Kane
- Christian
- Khali
- Miz
- Swagger
- Sheamus
- Jericho (assuming he returns)
So who do you reckon will be making up the main event numbers come the end of next year? JoMo, Ziggler, Kingston, Barrett, Del Rio, Sin Cara, Bryan?
